Finally...

Mr. Blogger finally let me down load some photos (after many attempts all week).
Last Friday evening it started to snow and did not stop until Sunday morning. Needless to say, there was over a foot of the fluffy white stuff!!! The streets were awful and so were a lot of the silly drivers around these parts! Because the snow started on Friday night, the snow crews were not really doing a lot over the weekend, which made for many accidents etc. around town!
We trooped out into the snow Sunday afternoon for the office Halloween Party. Emma was very excited about dressing up in her "Fairy Princess" costume, but was even more excited about wearing make-up (oh no... it's starting already!).
The crown lasted all of 1 minute, but she was cute with or without it!
The party turn out was awesome and so were the costumes. All the children enjoyed the crafts & games, and went home with tummies full of goodies!

Monday night Emma helped her Daddy carve the pumpkin. Everyone says I am the one with all the artistic talent, but I am starting to think that Dann has a lot of "artsy fartsy" in him too!

Dann has a very creative mind... just look at the final product!!

Halloween night was pretty cold, but Emma put her snow suit under her costume and she was good to go. Ethan stayed home with Grandma to hand out Halloween candy.

Emma and her little friend Darby headed out around 6 p.m. and they must have went to over 30 houses. I kept asking them if they were cold, but they always said they were fine. We went up and down our street (which is very long) and the girls hauled in big time. Finally, Emma told me that her bag was getting too heavy to carry. I took it from her and it was darn heavy. Some people handed out regular size chocolate bars and cans of pop... all that oil money I guess!

After we got home, Emma indulged in a few chocolate bars and then she headed to bed... she still fell right to sleep, even after all the candy. I guess that cool air and walking really did the trick!

Finally, just a few pics of Ethan this past week. He seems to be more alert and holds his head up very well. My baby looks like he is 3 months old... not 2 weeks old!

What a beautiful princess Emma made. Dann really is an artsy fartsy, handyman kinda guy, does he cook and clean too?!! :) Lucky you.
Good for Emma putting her hands in the gooey pumpkin guts, Zoe starting to 'gag' the minute she saw the guts of the pumpkin and there was no way she was gonna touch that gross stuff, she came back for the carving and felt much better with the "pumpkin all cleaned out".
Your baby does look 3 months old, he is pretty cute.
I bet Emma loves the snow, Zoe keeps asking when it will snow here, I haven't had the heart to tell it might not.
Take care.

Great pictures. Our downfall is liquid and coming down in buckets today
By the way, Emma looks more like a fairy than a ferry though, LOL

We LOVE Emma's costume! I remember the days of snowsuits etc under costumes! We lucked out this year here and managed to just use layers to keep warm. Marin was wearing a toque under her pumpkin hat though...

Love the pumpkin, Dann! Very creative. My Dad had the same kind of flair around Halloween time, with ears and noses etc. Very cool!

Ethan is so freaking c-u-t-e. You two will have a tough time keeping all the chicks away from him!!

I guess I lived on the west coast too long. Silly me... yes Emma was a FAIRY Princess (although I am sure there are some ferries out there named "Princess").
